Student Projects - Period Paper
Since it is impossible to cover the period from the early 1950’s to the present with any depth, students are expected to examine Datamation and Computerworld for a specific year and write a period paper describing the most important computer news for that year. Students are encouraged to scan the tables of contents of the issues for that year and look for important hardware, software, or industry topics. In addition, students are advised to look at the advertising as well. Most students introduce their year by discussing what was going on in the world generally (from Time, Newsweek, Business Week, etc.).
